Ikea

    Do you know those shelving units from #Ikea made of cubes? This one is three cubes high, and I keep it next to my incredibly small home office desk (also from Ikea). The desk itself has already gone through some #IkeaHacks, but I still have many plans for it!

    Anyway, it was time to make these boxes more efficient. As you can see in one of the pictures from yesterday, the base of the cube at the top of the stack almost aligns perfectly with my desk. So, the plan is to create a platform that I can pull out and put things on when I’m working at the desk. This is what that sketch I recently shared was all about.

    In addition to the platform that will slide out like a drawer, there will also be a shelf. I’m not yet sure if it will slide with the platform or stay inside—that’s for future me to decide! For now, the plan is to finish the platform section.
